I am inspired by beauty, in particular the beauty of surrounding nature. The versitality and prettiness of the gemstones inspires me as well. My art adventure started with the gemstones almost 2 decades ago and gemstones became part of my life. The gemstones, as a creation of nature, are wonderful, atractive and emanate an atmosphere of happiness and peace. I like impressionistic, realistic and expressionistic art. I enjoy wonderful views and landscapes. Frequently I am inspired by something that I see, but it may take a few years before I would approach the subject and create a painting. I hope that you as a viewer of my paintings will also experience the harmony that is expressed by my use of miniature gemstones.
